[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 4575109, member: 19250"]This is one reason I seldom buy graded h 10's... most raw sent in won't grade.. Trying to collect varieties and die marriages one can't always find natural skin coins. When i started to collect half dimes my goal was xf/au...and in the begining they were pretty plentiful....not any more...cap bust in good to fine conditions are near 75/100$. Seated are better as far as inventory condition can be an issue. So to obtain dates and mint marks I had to lower the bar.. But...by doing so i have been able to aquire more specimens, and varieties I was searching. Like everyone else I would love to have better grades....but some varties are just hard to find. So I buy what ever I can find a specimen that is a variety or die marrage needed...and alway up grade the coin when ever possible. But no matter all half dimes are welcome in the collection from unc...to Good condition. All appreciated for their life spent in the early days of this nation commerce .[/QUOTE]
